Practicum: Day 1, 17 June 2014.



Today is much anticipated. I have been nervous about this teaching practice from early of this semester. After final examination subject for today, ended at 10.30am, my fellow practical trainee friends – Hani, Zyah, Maryam and me went straight to our designated school – SMK Putrajaya Presint 14 (1), Putrajaya.
                We were first greeted by PK Ko-ko. The Head Teacher was not in the office today and PK Ko-ko said that the school waited for us yesterday as they said we were supposed to report to school on Monday (16th June, 2014). We told PK Ko-Ko that we are having final examination in university and that we have a letter from University of Malaya saying that we are not able to report to school on certain days during our final examination dates. PK Ko-Ko asked us what uniform unit we took while we are in university. We said that she could assign us with any to help the school. We were told that the school now is occupied by Sports Day that will be held next two weeks.
                Afterwards, we were introduced to our mentor teacher, Madam Hayati. We were briefed about Form 1 and Form 2 OPS-ENGLISH programme, where students have just finished their Speaking and Listening 6 months training. Now that the OPS-English is done, students will learn about normal syllabus. We were told that we will be teaching Form 1, Form 2 and Form 4. There will be 2 Form 4 classes, and other classes will be divided to us. We will be given our schedules later that for this week, which is starting tomorrow, we will be shadowing teachers to classes, and perhaps will be giving hands to sports day event. I remember PK KOKO told us that on the 29th August, one week after end of our training.
                Madam Hayati briefed us about the school like operation hours, that Wednesday is the uniform unit day and toured us to the school compound and to the other teachers in teacher’s room. She also had small talks with us and gave some insights about the teaching world – sharing her experiences being a teacher and teacher’s trainee.
                Basically, though that I’m nervous to do the practical here, I am excited too because this can be said as a new experience for me. My journals here in this blog – I don’t care much about my language structure and all (well, perhaps will do proof-readings later), I’m focusing keying-in my daily experiences in school being the teacher’s trainee –  besides, I need to do other things that requires quite a lot of time too.
Project to do:    (1) Beautify English language corner at MBMMBI section.

                                (2) We have not yet meet with the Principle, perhaps we will be assign a project to do by the Principle – like previous teacher’s trainees, they were assigned to do ‘Kajian Tindakan’.

Teaching Practice (Practicum) for B.Ed. TESL

Salam a'laik my blog readers. How do you do? It's been a long time since I'm blogging in this blog :) Now I'm in Year Three (out of four years programme) of Bachelors of Education, Teaching English of Second Language (TESL). During our semester break (or actually before that - during final exam week exactly), teaching practice to school will be done.

I got SMK Putrajaya Presint 14 (1) as my practicum school together with my other three classmates. My final examinations will be clashing with the practicum for the first two weeks. Insya-Allah I will be updating my life experiences during the practicum here. I'm nervous because I think that I'm not quite ready - in term of knowledge, I need to learn more actually. My lecturer supervisor is Dr. Sofi. He will be evaluating us for three times, two times for TESL, one time for Literature lesson and he will be coming for social visit in Week 1 and 2 to our school too. Hope that all will be well. The teaching practice will start from 16 June - 22 August 2014. My final examination dates are on the 16th, 17th, 21st & 24th June 2014. Pray for the best, insya-Allah..
